Python bindings for libsensors.so from the lm-sensors project via
ctypes. Supports API version 4, i.e. libsensors version 3.x.

Motivation
Motivation for this package are shortcomings of scraping the output of
the sensors command by different shell scripts. Some had problems when
labels changed, others could not cope with too many matches of their
overly broad regular expressions, and so on. Those scripts and thus
this package are used at RebeIT for monitoring servers. The needs of
that task are the driving force behind this implementation.


Requirements

Python ≥3.6
libsensors.so from lm-sensors version 3.x (API 4)

The package is pure Python, so any implementation with the ctypes module
should work.


Installation
The usual python setup.py install from within the source distribution.

Example
The following example prints all detected sensor chips, their adapter, and the features with their ”main” value for each chip:
import sensors

sensors.init()
try:
for chip in sensors.iter_detected_chips():
print '%s at %s' % (chip, chip.adapter_name)
for feature in chip:
print ' %s: %.2f' % (feature.label, feature.get_value())
finally:
sensors.cleanup()
